We enjoyed getting together every summer for dinner somewhere. Hans had many interesting stories to share about the past and current events. He had a lot of pride and love for his family - a great man that will be missed. May he rest in Peace.

I remember when Keith and his family moved from Olympia during BHS years. When I retired in Bellingham 10 years ago I encountered him again. Called him Keith. He corrected me to say I could call him Ox---his h.s. nickname---or Hans. Saw him regularly thereafter at VFW. Somewhat taken aback to see his obituary. Had not known of deteriorating health. Condolence to his family.
